A top Tory who lived on benefits in a council flat for a TV show CHEATED... by secretly stuffing £50 down her bra.

Controversial MP Nadine Dorries was sent to stay with jobless sisters Rena and Renisha Spaine at the two-bed flat they share with their eight kids.

Her two-day stay with the single mums on the crime-ridden South Acton estate in West London was supposed to bring her closer to some of Britain's most deprived families.

But she ended up facing a furious backlash, with one of the mums setting up a Twitter page saying, "I Hate MPs".

The humiliating scenes will be an embarrassment to Tory leader David Cameron because he sees the MP for Mid-Bedfordshire as a rising s t a r. Divorced mum-ofthree Mrs Dorries, 52, is one of four MPs who agreed to rough it on some of Britain's most poverty-stricken estates for Channel 4's Tower Block of Commons - a reality show where they live with some of Britain's poorest families.

But Liverpudlian Mrs Dorries - nicknamed Mad Nad by fellow Tories - outraged the women when she whipped out £50 from her top, hours after turning up.

Mum-of-five Rena, 40, told her: "You hid money in your bra. Do you think when our benefits are gone we can just go into our bra and pull out 50 quid? It's cheating. I feel none of you MPs are being 100 per cent honest with us."

The MP insisted the cash was to get gifts for the family, saying: "Having been well brought up there was no way I was going to stay in someone's flat for two nights and not leave a gift."

Later Mrs Dorries, who used to live in a council house, sounds arrogant when she says: "I have learned that life on a council estate is markedly better today than when I was growing up."

In another bizarre moment, when challenged about MPs' expenses, Mrs Dorries says: "We don't get allowances. We don't get that money."

Her behaviour left the mums so angry Rena posted on Twitter: "South Acton hates Nadine Dorries. Get her off the estate."

In another she writes: "Nadine Dorries is a lying two-faced b****. I know first-hand."

Mrs Dorries' performance will be shown on Channel 4 days after it emerged she paid £35,000 of public money to a close friend in public relations.

She is being probed by sleaze watchdogs over her use of the MPs' second home allowance to rent a house in Woburn, Beds.

And in November the Sunday Mirror revealed how she handed just-graduated daughter Jennifer, 22, a £28,000-a-year taxpayerfunded job in her Commons office. Eldest daughter Philippa, 24, has also worked for her.
